Actually it was not known when negotiations began. Or else the union and the company withheld that information. We didn't find out that the bonus was being withheld until after the last vote.

I notice in there it says that the union workers WOULD get the $1,000 bonus if a deal is agreed to - so I guess that previous article sort of jumped the gun on them not getting it (which I think was known since it has been part of the negotiations from the beginning)

I would like this.

What caught my eye in this article was since when have their been rumors of a “second half of 2019” opening for the new Disney-inspired show? That seems really early unless this show has been in development for several years before being announced.

Yeah last I heard was 2020 for the Disney show.

I wondered that too. I saw someone mention that in some international markets (especially China) they don't care about the original trilogy so that has contributed to why Solo is doing even worse internationally than domestically.

If they do go forward I could see them getting smaller budgets with lower expectations

There’s some buzz on Facebook this morning about Richard Gerth, the Grand Floridian Greeter having some health complications today.

FB news is always a bit suspect, but I’m certainly keeping him in my thoughts today.

I saw that too and wanted to post but wasn't sure since wasn't an official source - but if it is true definitely sending positive thoughts and prayers (the reports I saw said he has been into hospice care due to pnemonia)

There's a good chance they are second guessing everything right now. The response they got to TLJ had to spook them, and this made it worse. I think in Lucasfilm's minds a Han Solo movie was a no-brainer. There were certainly a number of factors and plenty of excuses why it failed, so I don't think they will spot making Star Wars movies anytime soon but I do think the most likely outcome will be:

1) They stick with 1 movie per year from now on. They may also stay with December releases for a while.
2) They may do EITHER the Obi Wan or Boba Fett movie, but likely not both. I think more likely that they do the Obi Wan movie, because I think there is more fan support for that than the Boba Fett movie.

Plus Ewan McGregor has said he wants to do one and I think fans already accept him as Obi-Wan - so do that one now ... you could always do a Boba Fett one years down the road
